Sourdough Pizza Crust
Sourdough Pizza Crust
From: Cultures for Health)
Ingredients
- 1½ cups *fresh sourdough starter
- 1 Tbsp olive oil, coconut oil, etc.
- 1 tsp salt
- 1¼ to 1¾ cups flour
- (*We recommend using sourdough starter that has been fed three times 4 to 12 hours apart prior to making the pizza crust.)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 500°F.
- Mix together the fresh sourdough starter, one tablespoon of oil, the salt and 1¼ cups of flour. Add more flour, a little at a time, as needed to form a pizza dough consistency. The amount of flour needed will depend on the hydration level of your sourdough starter (the flour-to-water ratios used when feeding the starter).
- Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes as it will be easier to roll out. (It won’t rise significantly, if at all.)
- Roll the dough out into a circle using a minimum amount of flour to prevent sticking.
- Bake the crust for approximately 7 minutes.
- Remove the crust from the oven and brush oil to prevent the toppings from soaking into the crust and making it soggy.
- Add the desired toppings and bake the pizza until the crust browns and the cheese melts.
